A review of structural health monitoring literature 1996-2001

TL;DR: An updated review covering the years 1996 2001 will summarize the outcome of an updated review of the structural health monitoring literature, finding that although there are many more SHM studies being reported, the investigators, in general, have not yet fully embraced the well-developed tools from statistical pattern recognition.

Impact resistance and damage characteristics of composite laminates

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the damage characteristics and failure strengths of composite laminates at low velocity impact tests. And they found that when the impact energy increased over the threshold energy of the major damage, matrix cracking, delamination, and fiber breakage were observed at the back surface.

Modelling of impact damage in composite laminates

TL;DR: In this paper, a model is proposed which explains the distribution of these preferred interfaces, as well as some characteristics of impact damage, such as the relative size of delaminations and the occurrence of prominent delamination/cracking features.

Impact response of tough carbon fibre composites

TL;DR: The impact damage response of new tough carbon fiber composite systems was investigated in this paper, where the low velocity impact damage tolerances of crystalline thermoplastic and toughened epoxy matrix composites were compared and contrasted for two different stacking sequences and target geometries.
